I wouldn’t mind paying a small fee if the website was a really good,well recommended one. with a great selection of best sellers and classic book.
Many thanks.

I have a different suggestion. Your local library should have many books on tape/cd. If you have a cassette or cd player.

I have a Sansa Disk Mp3 Player and I’m not aloud to read books in the car so I thought I can get Audio Books on my MP3 player. But I don’t know how to. Can anyone tell me how I can get Free audio books without registering or paying onto my Sansa Disk MP3?

I found a very good resource of Audio books
I’ve downloaded a lot of books from here

I can’t seem to find a site that has newer books for free. They’re either older books for free or newer books for money.

That life in the digital fast lane. Borrow them on CD from your local public library and rip them.

I know there is a bunch of Star Wars Books out there and I was wondering if I could just start in and listen to the Fate of a Jedi books. I’m a mower and like to listen to Audio Books while mowing. Most of the books are in abridged form (a condensed version of the the book). The Fate series, the Movie books, and a few are in unabridged form (the book read strait from the pages) which I prefer

Well considering that the Fate of the Jedi series is set about 45 years after the events of ep VI … I think you would be beyond lost in respect to the story line. Off hand I’d say that the only characters that you’ll know about are Han, Luke, Leia, Lando, Wedge … and that’s about it. Any other characters you know from the movies have died in the 70 + books that are in the story line before the Fate Of The Jedi series. Personally I’ve read just about every one of the books that has come out over the years so I fancy myself a Star Wars EU (Expanded Universe of books) Guru and reading the Fate of the Jedi series has sent me back to my book shelve to the older books to "refresh" my memory and even that doesn’t work sometimes with this new series.

On the other hand, since you don’t have the knowledge from those books it might not matter and you’ll understand the Fate Of The Jedi series better … I have to say that I highly doubt it but who knows.

As for the audio books … I absolutely HATE the "abridged" versions … they are a slap in the face to the author and tend to leave out a ton of info that would make the story easier to understand. As you say, the unabridged versions are hard to find and usually don’t exist.

I would suggest you look for the books of the Thrawn Trilogy to listen to. The titles are "Heir To The Empire", "Dark Force Rising", and "The Last Command". These books were written by Hugo Award winning author Timothy Zahn and are brilliantly written. They are set 5 years after the events of ep VI and are where the books really started.

I’ve found a few audio books on the p2p sites but they are "at your own risk" things with all the trash that can be found on the p2p sites.

May The Force Be With You …

You can get two free from Audible with a trial. But, this requires sign up and giving a card number in case you want to keep the service. I’ve included a link below if you want to check it out. Hope this helps. All the best.

i like Audio Books.. funny stories languages, things like that let me know where my friends

Librivox has Free audio books because they are out of copyright and read by volunteers that have given up their rights.

New books do not have free online versions because the author wants to be paid and so do the sound engineers and the actor hired to read the book. But many public libraries buy audio books and you can check them out for free.
